  Windows is a toy. It's good for users who what to see fancy icons, beautiful
buttons, nice graphics. But it has millions of security holes and performance in
serious applications is riduculous. Imagine NASA would use Windows!!!

  I'm no fan of anything. And my knowledge of Linux/Unix is small, I admit it.
But I know enough (because I've developed software for Unix) how safe you feel
when you write code and know that code will do exactly what you expect it to. In
Windows you never know...

  For _serious_ applications: Unix/Linux.
